Intro: F#m A D E 2x
F#m
I am not a pretty girl
A D E
That is not what I do
F#m A
I ain’t no damsel in distess
D E
And I don’t need to be rescued
F#m A
So put me down punk
D E
Wouldn’t you prefer a maiden fair
B D
Isn’t there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
I am not an angry girl
But it seems like I’ve got everyone fooled
Every time I say something they find hard to hear
They chalk it up to my anger
And never to their own fear
And imagine you’re a girl
Just trying to finally come clean
Knowing full well they’d prefer you
Were dirty and smiling
And I am sorry
I am not a maiden fair
And I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
Solo: F#m A D E (2x)
And generally my generation
Wouldn’t be caught dead working for the man
And generally I agree with them
Trouble is you gotta have youself an alternate plan
And I have earned my disillusionment
I have been working all of my life
And I am a patriot
I have been fighting the good fight
And what if there are no damsels in distress
What if I knew that and I called your bluff?
Don’t you think every kitten figures out how to get down
Whether or not you ever show up
I am not a pretty girl
I don’t want to be a pretty girl
No I want to be more than a pretty girl
